Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
Analysis has identified that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified female passengers were listed among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has not received any contact by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
